Playlist Becomes Eclectic
Anyone else like listening to Morning Becomes Eclectic on KCRW?

I’ve been meaning to do a lot of things for months like clean mountain of clothes off my dresser like post playlists. One of my favorite parts about working out is that I get to listen to my music without the criticism of my music aficionado husband. (Come on honey, Usher is not that bad.) Listening to my music is also one of the, not to be underestimated, benefits of working out in my garage. It has the power to motivate, relax, or deflate me. Here is a short playlist of a few of all time favorite workout songs.
I know iTunes only lets you listen 30 seconds of a song so I’ve embedded the Youtube video if I could find it so you can listen to the entire song yourself if you should like. I didn’t watch every video so sorry if there is some questionable content.
Turnstile Blues by Autolux – I’m not crazy about all their stuff but this song rocks my socks. iTunes
Four to the Floor (Dance Version) by Starsailor iTunes
The Jessica Numbers – The New Pornographers iTunes
Starts With One – Shiny Toy Guns – One of my favorite workout songs of all time. Love love LOVE it. It has motivated me through many intervals on the stepmill. Jeremy Dawson of, Shiny Toy Guns, used to go to my old church. That makes me cool. Right? iTunes
Infidels of the World Unite – Fishcherspooner iTunes
Back in Your Head (Morgan Page Remix) – Tegan and Sara iTunes
You’re Freaking Me Out Girl – Wired All Wrong iTunes
Bulls on Parade – Rage Against the Machine – I’m not an angry person but this song never fails to get me pumped for a hard set of kettlebell snatches. iTunes
Come Into My World (Fisherspooner Remix) – Kylie Minogue – Confession I love to hula hoop to this song. Don’t laugh. iTunes
What about you? Is music an important part of your workout or do you prefer the quiet? Do we share any of the same tastes? I love it when that happens!

This is my (almost) sane quest for insane health. Let's 
I love Shiny Toy Guns , Rage, Kylie and not going to lie, I love Usher for running! Sometimes I like the quiet for shorter runs but for longer ones, I need music to keep me going!
I cannot run without music. Yeah, I have a somewhat secret thing for hip hop!
That’s not just logic. That’s really selsibne.
Oooh I love to workout to music! It’s SO motivating to me! That said, for all that you are my soul sister and wanna-be doppleganger (as in, I want to look like you not the other way around), we have verrrryyyy different taste in music! I liked the Shiny Toy Guns song and… that’s it.
I love me some latin flavor when I work out. Less synth, more trumpets. Oh yes, I just said trumpets.
Trumpets!!! I don’t know why but that is hilarious to me! Funny our music tastes are so different. I don’t do much Latin music at all. However, I love Arabic, Indian, and Persian vibes!
I agree completely with the Rage against the Machine being a great pumper-upper. I love Teagan and Sarah too…the rest I’ve never heard. I am so uncool. I’d be a total liar if I didn’t cop to a bit of guilty pleasure Brittney Spears…I know, my head is hung in shame.
I used to listen to “Morning Becomes Eclectic” when we lived in L.A. I could probably listen online, if I remember, lol!
I love your taste in music – esp the Shiny Toy Guns woo-hoo! They’ve inspired a lot of my band’s music! Some of my fave bands to listen to when getting my fitness on are: Paramore, Disturbed, Muse & Radiohead. I recommend “Misery Buisness” by Paramore, “Down with the Sickness” by Disturbed, “Stockholm Syndrome” by Muse and “Idioteque” by Radiohead to get you started
Have a great weekend!
I was expecting Usher’s “yeah” to be on there. Or maybe that would be too much for your husband. I love the Kylie song for riding my bike.
